Leia Proves a worthy Princess

Well the wait was worth it after seeing what Leia did today to a really good bunch of 2 year olds. I spoke with 2 trainers here in Sydney that had runners today in our race and they both gave their horses a rap, but our girls class carried her a long way today in the Duart Homestead SV 2YO Maiden Plate over 1108m. Prize Money was $17,500 plus $9,000 Super VOBIS Bonus.

She had no favours in the run after being posted 3 wide for the whole trip, but when Michael Walker asked her for a big effort in the straight she let rip like a quality filly .Michael said she has the makings of a promising filly once she learns how to be a race horse, as she is still doing things on fear .

Leon was so happy with today as he has put his neck out over recent weeks declaring this filly has a good future and that’s what you want to see when you make big statements.

We will endeavour to get the video of the race up shortly.
